Airport Transfers from Carrum

The most common booking we get from Carrum is a trip to Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine). The distance from Carrum to Tullamarine is around 57 kilometres, and the fare works out to approximately $130 in a standard taxi, calculated using the metered rate: $9.90 flag fall plus $2.20 per kilometre, with a $5.26 airport pickup fee on the return. If you travel on Friday or Saturday night between 10pm and 4am, Tariff 3 applies and the per kilometre rate moves to $2.34.

We recommend booking your airport taxi the evening before your flight. That way your driver confirms the job, sets the alarm, and you are not scrambling for a cab at 4am. For early departures, we suggest leaving Carrum at least two and a half hours before a domestic flight and three hours before international.

Avalon Airport (Geelong) is a further option for Carrum residents. The fare from Carrum to Avalon runs around $165 to $175 depending on traffic conditions on the Princes Freeway.

Not every booking is an airport run. We cover everyday trips too: school pickups along Carrum Beach Road, rides to Chelsea or Seaford for shopping, and transfers to local medical appointments in Frankston or Clayton. Patterson Lakes residents also use this service for quick trips across the canal to Carrum proper.

For group travel, our Maxi Taxi fits up to 11 passengers and carries additional luggage. The Maxi surcharge of $17.80 applies on top of the metered fare. For corporate travel, Cabcharge vouchers are accepted on every booking.
